She was hacked to death in a riot created by Bishop Cyril against heathen philosophy in AD 415. Charles Kingsley used this historical material for his romance Hypatia, published in 1853.

MOLYNEUX, William. Sciothericum Telescopium: or, A New Contrivance of adapting a Telescope to an Horizontal Dial for Observing the Moment of Time by Day or Night, Dublin, 1686.

Sciothericum Telescopium: or a new Contrivance of adapting a Telescope to an Horizontal Dial for observing the Moment of Time by Day or by Night ... useful for regulating and adjusting curious Pendulum Watches. Dublin 1686. The instrument was an elaborate affair and made in London by Richard Whitehead, working in Gunpowder Alley, half-way up Shoe Lane leading out of Fleet Street. Pendulum watches were the more accurate types resulting from the adoption of the balance spring. They often had a mock pendulum showing in an aperture in the dial of the watch. There was no actual pendulum used. Per una spiegazione di questo strumento si veda pure Marianeschi E., Severino N., Lo Gnomone Galleggiante, citato in questa bibliografia alla voce Marianeschi E.

(Diverse calculations, astronomically dependent on the mathematical tables corrected to make sundials of circular shape ... and other cases useful and delightful: the whole extracted from various authors and corrected by Filippo Monari.

MORLAND Sir S., The Poor Man’s Dyal, with an instrument to set it, 1689 MORLAND, Samuel Sir. Sir Samuel Morland, diplomat and inventor 1625-1695, by H W Dickinson, gives a full outline of his extraordinary life and career as a diplomat.

Samuel Morland (1625-1695) was made Master Mechanic to King Charles II in 1681, who knighted him for his works. He is most famous for his calculating machines or 'arithmetic engines' as he called them. These are described in Description and Use of two Arithmetic Instruments ... as likewise a Perpetual Almanack, published in 1673, although the machines were invented in 1666. An example of the Perpetual Calendar signed 'Invented by S Morland 1650' is in the British Museum. Although he had been a student at Cambridge University, he left without taking a degree. An example of one of his instruments is in the Museum of the History of Science in Florence. Robert Hooke considered these calculating machines of little use, and in fact their users found them more decorative than utilitarian in practice. His house at Vauxhall, on which he took a lease for 21 years in 1677, had a Punchinello holding a dial, it is mentioned by Aubrey. Morland unfortunately lost his sight in the last three years of his life, and was so weak at the end that he could not sign his will disinheriting his second son. He died on 30 December 1695 and was laid to rest in Hammersmith Chapel on 6 January 1695/6.

MORLAND, Samuel Sir. The Poor Man's Dyal, with an Instrument to set it. London 1689. This pamphlet of 5 pages was reprinted by Mr Richard B Prosser from a copy in the library in Lambeth. It gives simple instructions for making a sundial. London 1886.
